I'm looking forward to not grieving the person that I once was. I'm looking forward to appreciating my new, evolved self, my post-pandemic self.
Ever wondered how others navigated the rollercoaster of the pandemic? This episode of 'All In The Mind' flips the script, turning the mic over to the listeners. They share their personal tales of survival, from picking up quirky new hobbies like cheese-making to finding solace in morning beach walks. But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Many faced loneliness and mental health challenges, especially those living alone or in areas like Melbourne that endured multiple lockdowns.
The Bureau of Statistics data from June 2021 highlights the profound impact these lockdowns had on people's lives. Yet, amidst the hardships, there were unexpected silver linings. Some listeners found the lockdown to be a much-needed break from the relentless pace of pre-pandemic life, offering a chance to reevaluate and trim down their social commitments. As restrictions ease, these storytellers share their hopes for reconnecting with friends and traveling once again.
This episode is a heartfelt compilation of tears, fears, and hopes that defined our collective pandemic experience. Tune in to hear these moving stories and perhaps find a bit of your own journey reflected in theirs.
